For the second Saturday in a row, the neighbor dog had me up at 5am. It’s beyond the point of annoying and frustrating. I actually went out and got video of it at the half hour and 55 minute mark just in case talking with them doesn’t resolve the problem. It ultimately went on until about 6:15am. That alone would have been bad enough but add to that I didn’t Leah settled into bed until close to 1am and I’m a zombie. Combine that with Leah having trouble going to bed every night for the past week and I hope you’ll say some prayers for anyone in my presence today!!
Speaking of the week, it was a tricky week. Leah’s reluctance to sleep at a decent hour too all my nighttime prep time and I found myself in a chaos state much more than I like. Some I can take but it was just too much.
It was also Leah’s first week at a new (to her) daycare. You never know what kind of transition that can be on a kiddo. Yesterday was a tough drop off for both of us but overall she seems to be doing well with it. Its’ helped us tremendously that she is now attending the center that Brooke went to and thrived. It’s just a matter of new routine and I’m confident it will all be running smoother again soon. That said, I have missed seeing the teachers and kiddos from her old daycare and hope to visit next week. After a year of them loving on my baby, I can’t help but have a special place in my heart for them and plan to keep in touch with them as much as possible.
Then work has really started to pick up. Traditionally, July 1st is a big effective date for new groups to come on board. I was pleasantly surprised when the workload of new cases was actually quite manageable. Well, apparently, that was because 8/1 and 9/1 were going to be crazy instead!! I think everyone is back in work mode now that summer is winding down. While I’m sure that’s awesome for the company’s bottom line, its not so great for my inbox and sanity!!
It’s a home game day for the Vols so the girls and I are on are own for a good part of the day. Right now is actually my favorite part of the week. After breakfast, the girls and I find ourselves in the playroom. They do their thing while I read, stuff diapers, fold laundry or maybe ramble on in a blog post!! Brooke is building a castle out of Legos and Leah is moving from baby dolls to play kitchen to blocks to her sports center.
Ha! She actually just suckered Brooke into coloring with her at the art table. Which of course Brooke is doing willingly because she’s so stinkin’ sweet and such a good sister. Those two just are just so awesome together I can hardly stand it.
According to my Facebook feed, today is National Read a Book Day. So with that in mind, I close with what I’m reading now and what I’m planning to read next.
Currently reading:
Brooke will be turning 6 this month and in my opinion, that’s the point when a real foundation is laid for how to handle money. So I’m getting some insights from Dave Ramsey and his daughter, Rachel Cruze. There’s not a whole lot of new information that you won’t hear in his radio show but its nice to have all the kid-related material condensed in one book.
I’ve got The Road to Mercy
Up Next:
